Faux Real: 10 Gorgeous Artificial Plants That Look Totally Legit
Let’s be honest—keeping real plants alive isn’t everyone’s strong suit. I don’t know about you, but I’m a certified plant killer, and since you landed here, my guess is that you are too. Caring for plants is no easy feat. Between the watering schedules, the picky lighting needs, and the surprise plant drama (I see you, crispy leaves), it can feel like more hassle than it’s worth. Thankfully, there are plenty of fake plants out there that look surprisingly real and don’t come with baggage.
